Go for a rally in Mexico.
This interview was so entertaining from the start to the end. Once again Ms. Schoemaker answer all your questions with her adorable, honest & genuine kind of way. Especially when she said that what is the point of the guys in the rally who were riding higher displacement bikes but couldn't able to utilize it to the maximum.
That is so true. Perfect answer.

I love watching Itchy Boots videos, not only for the travel and adventure experience, but also for following Noraly’s evolution as a rider, a photographer and videographer, an editor, and a drone photographer. Her videos have developed into visual and audio feasts, made even more incredible by the fact that she often operates the drone for wide overhead segments WHILE riding. Also, she has always put great effort into selecting music appropriate to each segment. She has clearly grown in all of these fields and it will be fascinating to see where her skills and interests take her in the future. I think her skills as a polyglot and scientist as well as her love of travel and challenges enrich her stories and keep channel members and subscribers looking forward to each new episode and season. She has clearly brightened and inspired many viewers’ lives, and it was a pleasure to view this interview.
I totally agree!
Ben, totally agree!
Well stated and I agree.
Well said!
Ya took the words right off my keyboard!
Great to see Noraly's happy smiling face! Intelligent, courageous, cultured, positive, multitalented, multilingual and perhaps the nicest person on RUclips. How can you not love her?
Oh yes, oh yes! I love her too😁👍! now we are already two!
Kind regard Kobus the Netherlands 🥃👋
Dear Revzilla. Killer idea: Sponsor NORALY'S rallying and travels!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Royal Enfield dropped the ball on that opportunity. Win win. Cheers.
Agree
A very good idea Omar...
Great idea ….
Spurg and Zack both let on that they know about Noraly's next bike...what makes you think Revzilla isn't sponsoring her next adventure?
yeah plz do this!
"I try not to dream about doing things too much and just do them." And that, in a nutshell is what sets her apart from almost everyone else.
Noraly is the best, worldwide motorcycle industry, spokesperson ever! She's classy, modest, and charming as heck! Congratulations guys for having her on your show! What a score!
Wow...two of my favorite RUclips worlds collide! Named my bike "Noraly" to honor Itchyboots' travels. She's inspired me to get out from behind my computer and explore!
Whoa, I love your channel Omar. I remember seeing an Itchy boots sticker or t-shirt in one of your videos! Awesome seeing you comment on a RevZilla video. Moto community is huge!
same here, my new BMW F750GS is Noraly, and I am currently in planning a big trip all across Scandinavia and the Baltics.
And now three of my favorite YT channels Omar, welcome! Love your channel as well ;) Greetings from the NL Itchyboots!
She is addictive, I have a Benelli TRK 502x, watch her religiously and love your channel, what is it with bikers and photography/filming???
My Bonneville T120 "Noraly"
Fantastic interview with Noraly. She exudes charm and, without any pretense, speaks so eloquently about the joys of riding a motorcycle, while using it as a way of seeing the world. If the "industry" were looking for an ambassador to introduce more people into riding I can't think of anyone more qualified than her. Much respect Itchy Boots.
I think she should be sponsored!
But then again, if she is sponsored people won't accept her authenticity.
Her authenticity is her currency.
@@Redmenace96 Agreed. And I am certaint she will have received countless offers already by now. That is how capitalism works. But she is an an independent person and makes independant choices. Shure some sponsership on the side is going on like her helmet but she is completely transparent about that. She only uses gear she herself wants to use. If the helmet she wants can be free and customised for her then why not! But always her own choices are what guides her. She will never sell her soul for a paycheck. And that is one of the many reasons she became such a sensation.
Her channel is addictive it's just not countless hrs of bike rides but as a geologist, she conveys a lot of interesting information about the lands and locations.
Loved the video guys - props to you for getting Noraly on, great interview with an inspiring rider…..loved it!
She is a fantastic role model for bikers in general but women in particular it's her personality that makes her so popular and her vlogs so addictive and I can't wait for season 6 ride safe all,Steve
First time I've seen you guys and totally enjoyed the 2 hrs. I'm a HUGE fan of Noraly and Itchy Boots. Absolutely love her philosophy: Set goals, work at the goals, push through the challenges. Live every day-don't just exist. As a 71 year old woman from Canada who rides a Kawasaki Vulcan, I'm intrigued by the off-roading she does. I'm tempted, but will probably stick to riding a cruiser. I thoroughly enjoyed your discussion.
I’m a 63 year old sport touring rider and she’s planted an itch to do some adventure riding. I’m sure my fake knees would argue with me if they could. 😄
Well said Carol. Noraly and her Itchy Boots channel are awesome. What is also awesome is that you continue to ride at 71! You are inspirational too. Keep after it Lady!!!
Wow 71 and riding you inspire me. I am 71 and watching
Noraly l find myself wishing l were younger. Maybe 71 is not to late to start. Thank you for sharing your age.
@@marieycaron7725 now I'm nearly 73 and still LOVING my Kawasaki Vulcan. It is never too late to start! Go for it!! You're not getting any younger, so do it!!! My Kawasaki, named YOLO (you only live once) is so easy to handle, nimble and quick). Do it!!
I love Noraly's channel. She is in my top 3 RUclipsrs of all time. I always look forward to her "Itchy Boots" videos. Very well done and some incredible places I will never go to.
For me she is the no.1 RUclipsr. After all she is the only RUclipsr I follow because her content is all honest, adventurous & entertaining without making feel tired watching her. Plus, she does know what she is talking about not just blabbing stuff that sounds good to get the interest of the viewers.
Noraly is simply awesome, confidence, editing(especially the music choices), her riding, her friendliness with people. Just amazing.
Noraly is a real Ambassador for positivity in the world, greets everyone with a smile, assume the best from people, and is rarely disappointed.
She in not American so doesn’t really speak for us.
@@chamade166 Not sure why you made that reply to my comment. Did I say she was American, and did she ever suggest she was a spokesperson for the USA? No and No.
Her Dutch/European mentality comes through when it comes to practicalities. Best podcast/interview ever. Great guest talking with 2 very capable hosts!
Noraly is a QUEEN in many ways,goodwill,positive attitude,respect for others,riding skills,filming,editing.Followed her sens episode 1 start in India.Thank you Noraly for all the super interesting videos.❤❤
Thank you, so enjoyed the whole conversation! Being an old guy, dirt only rider here in Northern California. Noraly is one of my favorite channels. Her adventures and quality content are outstanding.
I admit I don’t watch Itchyboots religiously, though I do love her content and more so her personality, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. It was fun getting to know her a bit better in this relaxed environment with good banter and perspectives shared between you all, so thank you Zach and Spurge ✌️. Moto travelers like her remind me just how much is out there for me to see and do and to get out from my bubble of comfort more often. You miss so much of life and lose out for potential in personal growth by not leaving your comfort zone. Such an inspiration!
Itchy Boots, my favorite channel on yt! Noraly is such an inspiration!
Noraly exposes us to what an amazing world we have, and how helpful people can be.
Noraly is so incredibly sweet!! It's been so much fun following her journey from season one and onward!!
She's wonderful!..........can't get enough of her videos and interviews.
Now going to watch "Into the Dust 4 (then 1,2,3). Great interview with Noraly. A true Spirit of the Adventurer and she does it SOLO on a Motorbike. Throw in guts, dirt roads and trails. Then add Desert heat, rain, thunderstorms, hail. Now take all that up to Max elevations in the Andes, freezing temperatures. NOW top it all off with EXPERT video and commentary. Oh. did I mentioned the one handed dirt road driving with the other hand controlling the most BEAUTIFUL drone footage this world has to offer! - and ask yourself - WHO THE HELL DOES THAT!!!. No wonder Noraly and her Itchy Boots channel is becoming one of the MOST viewed/watched U-Tube channel in the world (now over 1 mil + Subs). Yup, if I was 30 yrs younger (73 now), would inspire me to give it my best shot. Thank you Noraly - Kirby.
Great conversation, and worth a few hours out of my life. I am in Ecuador right now, and headed over to pick up my Himalayan, which has been in storage waiting for me since November 2019.
As an old guy in less than robust physical condition, I found Noraly's travel videos inspiring. If a 5'5" woman can travel Asia and South America alone, I just needed to make the decision and go!
Noraly is my adventure HERO !! Love everything she does and can't wait to see what she has planned next.
good interview! almost two hours is still too short. she has special parents: not afraid of anything, just like Noraly. I hope to see her more often with you. warm greetings from the Netherlands/Holland from fellow motorcyclist Kobus.
That was hands down the best episode of HSLS I’ve ever seen. I loved it. Awesome guest, awesome natural chemistry with everyone. Very cool.
I love Noraly’s vlogs. Not only is she knowledgable and interesting but she has an amazing charm and everyone she meets enjoys meeting her. I think if she had a more competitive bike during the Kalahari rally she would have been on the winning podium. She was faster than many others on her 250! I think she will be doing a lot of rallies all over the world as well as her travelling soon
👍🏻great interview. I’ve seen every one of Noraly’s videos. I started three years ago and binge watched . I am a great grandma and love riding along on her adventures and look forward to season six. As Noraly would say, “Let’s go!”
Great epispode, what an amazing woman Noraly is! Such an inspiration. I actually bought my 1st bike bc of her, the RE Himalayan 🤩
It is IMPOSIBLE not to fall in love with Noraly. You can see it in anyone eyes when they talk to her, instantly smitten.
Not really
Indeed. There's something about her that would even make the dead's hearts beat up. An infecting kind of liveliness. Irresistible.
I totally agree with you. That smile of her's...wow.
So true!
First time viewer and devoted Noraly fan. Really enjoyed your presentation. Two hours went so fast. Great job guys!
Great interview. I have not come across your channel before, but I watch any and everything to do with Noraly. I have watched every single video of hers and several interviews on other channels. I am a huge fan. Totally believe she is THE BEST RUclipsR on the planet. Was excited to see this interview pop up in my feed as she is on a well deserved break after Season 5 and I have been missing her so much. Extremely bright, happy and continuously positive person. I have HUGE respect for her!!!!
Hey Doug! Spot on, 100 % agree!
Kind regards Kobus the Netherlands 👍🥃🥳👋
This is awesome. Nice hearing from our favorite motorcyclist and vlogger on your show! Looking forward to new adventures from Itchy Boots.
Noraly IS the definition of inspiration
This is the absolute best guest interview ever. Anytime I get to see an interview with Noraly it's a good day. You guys did a really nice job with the interview, bring her back any chance you get.
What a fantastic interview. Her channel is just amazing and my coffee breaks at work are set to her episodes drops. Really excited to see where she goes next. Such an insperational person and always positive. I don't think I have ever seen a video of her where she is not in a positive mindset 💚
2weks agoe it was still a secret as witsh bike she will ride on.
But now we kno it will be a new start in the alaskan trip.
And a new 300cc ride
Her positive attitude is one of her super powers.
Thank you for featuring one of the great motorcyclist travelers Noraly aka Itchy Boots. Not only she is a motorcyclist traveler, she is also a Chemical Geologist who holds a masters degree and an accomplished videographer.
Noraly, you are such an inspiration! Thank you for being a guest here. And I agree - Central Asia is the place to go on a motorcycle :) We have just been to Kyrgyzstan this summer and it was an adventure of a lifetime. Good luck with your next IB season 6! :)
I named my first bike, a brand new Tenere 700, Noraly!
I can't think of a better way to describe how this wonderful woman can inspire people about motorcycles and adventures!
She's unique! 😍
Thank you RevZilla for hosting Noraly “Itchy Boots”. The most missed RUclipsr after her last season.
If I had to guess Noraly's next bike, it's a Honda CRF300L Rally. It's lighter than the Enfield, more powerful and faster than the 250L and Enfield, and carries more fuel. For a featherweight rider like her, it would be pretty great.
When I heard she thought the cb500x was too heavy I changed my mind from the tenere 700 to to either a Crf300L or 300 rally too. You can't really get them used either so she'd have to buy new. Working out her next bike is a fun game 😂
should be the 300L - better in the dirt than the Rallye - needs a suspension upgrade though
@@zeuszoegutsy I haven't seen any riding she has done for which the Rally wouldn't be well suited. She complained of the small fuel range on the 250 and the 300L suffers the same issue. The 300 Rally has well more than 50% additional fuel capacity. For someone her size, the stock suspension would work well. I'm over 100 kg and have upgraded my shock and fork spring.
The 300 Rally really is a great lightweight ADV bike and As an owner of one, I would be quite pleased to see Noraly end up on the same bike.
@@aaronbehindbars maybe she'll do a Crf300L/rally with 12.5 litre acerbis adventure tank and uprated front and back suspension. That'd be an awesome bike
Noraly confirmed today that she has selected the Honda CRF300 Rally for Season 6. Bike is named Alaska and will continue the South America - Alaska odyssey.
First time listener. You popped into my feed I’m sure because I’m an Itchy Boots subscriber and follower, since her first season. Love her style, her perspective, her excitement. So guess as an enthusiastic cyclist I’ll have to subscribe to your podcast!!!
Noraly...no matter the degree of hardships you've experienced during your trips, you still keep smiling. Keep spreading the positivity around. Hats off!
We learned of Noraly during the pandemic when she was doing South America to Alaska and have been following her RUclips channel ever since. Great interview BTW! She is such an intelligent, articulate, confident lady who has so much to offer her viewers that you can't help but learn something watching her adventures. I am still shocked a motorcycle mfg or major clothing line has not sponsored her yet before she hits it big on the cable TV circuit. Looking forward to the next season and what motorcycle she has chosen. Now give her a thumbs up and subscribe below!
I have never watched an almost 2 hrs interview in my life until now.
Great interview! It would be easy to get stuck on the fact the she is gorgeous and not go much further. But she is an accomplished rider, adventurer, photographer, geologist ...you name it. She treats everyone with respect. She has great problem solving ability and weighs the risks/ benefits of a situation par excellence. Your interview tapped into her vast knowledge base and experience, let her shine and treated her with great respect. I also didn't want it to end. We'll done!
Gorgeous?
She looks ok, but pretty average, in the Netherlands she is maybe a 6/7
In the Netherlands getting a license is much more difficult then in the States. Getting a license involves a theory exam, a first test on a parking lott where you have to make special manoeuvres like figures 8, emergency stop, and so on. The second test is a test on the road of about 40 minutes. You will be followed by an examinator dtiving a car. Your riding instructor will be in the passenger seat giving you directions threw a radio because it is a suprise route. Making one mistake will probably get you flunked. Getting a license will take atleast 15 hours of lessons considering you already have a car license and are capable of participating in traffic. During the lessons you wear an earpiece and your instructor usually follows (sometimes leads) on a motorcycle or in car.
Itchy Boots is an inspiration to anyone on two wheels....
Love this interview. I've been following Noraly for a long time. I've found her to be such an inspiration, not only giving me courage to take off on a motorcycle for solo trips but also her positive outlook on life. Thank you for having her on your show. I can't wait to see what her new bike is and where she will be going with it.
Noraly is such a wonderful ambassador for our passion. Please keep following her adventures.
Outstanding. Been following IB for a couple of years now. Always brings a smile to my face. You're right, she's a great ambassador!
Norally! A woman of substance! Really! She's living her dream! And we ours through her camera and ride! Love ❤ from India! 🏍🏍👏👏👏🤘👌
Jocelin Snow is under 5'2".
Where Itchy Boots adventures, the roads look like your trails, but they ARE the main roads, so fuel is more abundant, where as the off-road in America, you can be 80 miles away from gas and have to leave the trail to go there.
Revzilla needs to team up with Itchy Boots for the Kalihari Rally, and then you guys should sponsor/adventure with her for all the BDRs.
Wow. Noraly puts the "adventure" in ADV! I have completed some huge rides, but what she has done is absolutely amazing! An inspiration for sure. Well done Noraly and HSLS.
And she does it without $2000000 of support vehicle fleet surrounding her.
I followed Noraly since her first postings on RUclips. I love watching her Vids! The Africa trip has stressed me out, as I was worried for her tripping there….lol
does she camp anymore? i thought she at one time decided not to anymore.... just wondering
@@RoadDogSteve I think she said in one of her vids that she only camps when she has too. It’s the editing and internet access I’m guessing.
"TIA, bru." - D. Archer
I'm so glad you interviewed her. Noraly is best motovlogger out there.
the best answer I have ever heard for what bike should I get is " get a bike you can lift by yourself" especially if your doing adventure riding because no matter how good of a rider you are you will drop it and if your alone who's going to help you
My wife and I just love watching all available videos from Noraly since day one. She is amazing and made me get my love for bike riding back at 77 years old. Every time I get on my Ducati I thank her in my mind as I enjoy the obvious pleasure of riding a bike into the unknown.
Noraly is a such a delightful person. Thank you Itchy Boots for hanging with these guys!
you have got to watch this lady doing the Kalahari Rally - she kicked the crap out of most of the rest of the field
She sure did, but she was gracious about it at the same time.
@@NewSkiwi wouldn't have expected anything less from the lady 😍
as a fellow dirt rider, I watched in awe at her ability and pure guts riding those sand sections
She grew so much since South America. The training she did in the Netherlands and the experience she got earlier in Africa really came out in the rally!
I love her laugh/chuckle!!!🥰
such a brilliant talk!!!! You guys are awesome- so much great humour :) ! U brightened my day :) ! Thank you all and thank you for inviting Noraly- she is such an inspiration!
Noraly has inspired me to ride more. Zach and Ari have made me a better rider. Seeing these two here is awesome. Kudos to you
Wow guys you nocked it out of the park. I have followed Noraly from the start and am totally blown away by her. I am a 70 old gray beard that loves to ride and I am going to look up that movie. I am so excited that you made concession's with Noraly. WOW AND MORE WOW
Thanks for that guys! I'm so glad I stumbled on this interview of Noraly (aka: 'Itchy Boots'). Her attitude towards getting out there and doing it is totally infectious! This interview has really planted a seed in my little brain. I think motorcycle touring on and off-road is what I've wanted to do my whole life so it is definitely worth working towards. I'm 66 and not getting any younger-but touring on a motorcycle would definitely make me feel a whole helluva lot younger! Thanks again! Ride Safe Everyone!
She exudes the spirit of amelia earhart
Doing what she does on her own and how well her videos are done is amazing....she's a very inspirational person to the community....it will be interesting to see what bike she picks for her next adventure...thanks - well done!!!
Really enjoyed your interview with Itchy Boots. We love her adventures and look forward to more of your podcasts.
I’m 51. She inspired me to get my first motorcycle. Now I have three. Riding dirt roads/trails is my favorite.
Have been following Noraly since her early days in India and SE Asia. She has always provided interesting and insightful videos and postings. Very intelligent and articulate and an inspiration for many people to get into motorcycle riding, both male and female. And has maintained a cool and level head through some tough adventures. Easy to understand why she is closing in on 900000 subscribers. Glad you had her on the show. 👍👍😀🏍🇨🇦
Brilliant questions led to a brilliant and completely absorbing conversation. I had to pause the video once to look up 'Into the Dust 4' and put it on watch later. The time for this interview flew by!
That was so great! I’m following Noraly since the beginning and she’s definitely changed my point of view on motorcycling, the way I go through challenges on the road and lighten my desire to see the world. Thanks for this podcast!
Excellent episode dudes. So good to have itchy boots along. Really enjoyed the series again and this was a great way to end the season. Thanks all for your great work. Ride safe.
Into the Dust 4- How has any youtube fan missed that one? Thanks fellas for talking with her. She really is inspirational if you watch how open she is to whatever the day brings. She is quite amazing.
I have followed Ithcy Boots for a couple of years.. She is always so cheerful and happy . pleasant and patient.. She always rides very slowly and cautious.
I was really Surprised when she rode rather fast in the Ralley and looked to be very comperative..
What a Shocker that she likes Dust to Glory 4
Literally my two favorite motorcycle media thing combined! I'm a RevZilla fan, high side lowside listener and an itchy boots Patreon. So happy I had to stop the podcast and come to watch it here.
1- Noraly is a diamond that needs to be seen by everyone, what an incredible human being!! She is indeed an inspiration to everyone.
2 - About the maturity/potency discussion to start riding a motorcycle. I think there should only be one measure for the person who takes their first license. If a person has ever driven a car, for example, he could already have a full license, or something like that.
Congratulations on the good work you always do!
I switched to all Motul products. And i love them all and love the channel, thank you all so mutch. ❤
Noraly is my hero! Supply Chain: Ordered handle bars from Australia over six weeks ago. They are sitting in customs US LA,CA for 15 days..
NICE.. i ran into her Channel last week and saw a few of her Videos and really liked them and her. (totally impressed with her adventures.) THEN... ran into your videos via the "related videos" list on side of youtube screen.. then to find your interview with her was like "WIN WIN" - she is so impressive nad has an infectious smile ! - Good job guys !
Love Noraly! It's great to see her interact with you guys and hear her thoughtful answers! Thanks for sharing this!
I’m from Holland and love hearing Her. My wife has the same accent. Watch many of her videos and so amazed how she solos around the world in some of the most remote areas. Totally insane.
I have never seen anyone “make it happen” quite like Noraly.
Brilliant interview with Noraly and thanks for the great questions and quality answers! :)
I absolutely LOVE watching ItchyBoots' channel!! She is positively FEARLESS and so inspiring! Amazing woman with a great sense of adventure.
Very enjoyable! Have been following Noraly’s adventures for a few years now. She is a good example of how one should live life.
Nice Bukovac shirt dude!! Got one just like it.
Hey boys, thanks for interviewing our excellent tour leader Noraly "Itchy Boots" Schoenmaker. She's brilliant, resourceful, intelligent, kind and her positive spirit is contagious. In addition to her videos, taking time to teach us cultures, destinations and history.
Excitedly awaiting her Season 6.
BTW boys there is no "favourite" episode for us Itchy Boots Team Members. They're all brilliant and informative. When one thinks a specific episode was great - KABLAMO ☄ - she whacks you with a better segment.
Stay safe. 🖖🏽🤟🏽🇨🇦
Really enjoyed this episode. Two of my favorite RUclipsrs in a single episode...Thanks...
Noraly is an inspiration for everyone irrespective of gender, race or region! I picked up my first motor cycle last summer after watching her videos and finished a 10600 km solo round trip last month across north east of India.
Amazing interview by the way. Totally enjoyed this!
Noraly is great with bikes, but to watch her video is a great lesson on dealing with people (strangers) she is very charming and disarming.
Great interview, I'm a big fan of Noraly, been following her for a while now, she's a smart cookie, great film maker and language skills that put us all to shame !
Quality podcast, loving the banter and different views,
Very inspiring to travel more too!
Wow, I'm impressed that you guys got Noraly to come on your RUclips Channel. And I'm doubly impressed of the great questions you guys asked her. Absolutely brilliant. You guys picked up another subscriber. I agree that motorcycles should be allowed to lane split anywhere in the US but with a loud exhaust. If people don't see you, they can hear you. I do believe in this wholeheartedly but understand that not everyone reacts the same way to sound and some people don't have great hearing. Noraly, you are beautiful as usual. Can't wait to see your new bike.
You guys are awesome. Thank you Noraly for enlightening us all. You are admired by many and I am one of them…..
Sorry guys, I had not heard of either of you before. Only here because of Noraly. You are in the presence of royalty so I hope you do it right.
The most Popular Motorcycle in the World is the Honda Cub. They didn't even sell it in the USA for many years...
Yes look at what Ed March on his C90 has achieved, who needs an adventure bike.
Nobody downvoted this (yet) while, right now, 4.4 k people upvoted: perhaps the internet does acknowledge quality after all.
Noraly rocks! I've loved her videos since I first discovered them on the India-Netherlands trip. She's having FUN!
New bike! Can't wait for the next trip.
